Good location, a five min walk from the main railway station. Tram/bus stop 1 min away around the corner on the main street. The hotel is one block off the main street, so it is quiet. Good buffet breakfast selection. Elevator, so no having to carry luggage up stairs. Friendly staff attends promptly and fully to requests. Small business centre and rooms work well for business travelers. Overall, great value if you are in Geneva for work.

Very well priced stay for Geneva. Lots of extras from Expedia thrown in: Free parking, travel pass etc, so made it a bargain. Lovely staff very helpful with reservations and advice. Underground parking available. The area the hotel is situated however, is a somewhat seedy. We felt perfectly safe, even coming back after midnight on a Saturday, however we did have to walk through the red light district, with multiple girls on the street and and very "ethnic" community. If ever visiting Geneva again, i would probably still stay here, just as its price is good and its all you need.

The hotel was in a good location, not far from the lake and the railway station and plenty of restaurants nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable but a little dated. The shower over the bath was not easiest to use as water would end up on the floor if not careful. The electrical sockets need updating to international standards, no USB sockets. It was a bit noisy from about 7am when delivery and refuse trucks were outside the hotel and the building opposite is a building site but didn't cause any real inconvenience. At most other times it was quiet. The hotel only offers breakfast as it doesn't have a restaurant and breakfast time can be busy up to 8:30am. Plenty of interesting restaurants to suit all tastes nearby.

Chose a hotel close to the train station as we had a very early train to catch and it was just a short walk away and was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Kipling. The staff were very friendly and helpful making the check in and out process easy. The room and bathroom was quite large making it perfect for two international travellers to open their suitcases and not have to climb over the top of things/each other. The room and bathroom were also exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the decorations and art work that depicted lots of history.

This hotel is well located in Geneva- close to the main station. Unfortunately is was dirty, noisy, the elevator didn’t work for part of my stay, my door would not open until an average of 5 tries. Also, the credit card machine would not work when I went to pay on my way out to the airport. They finally took my payment by logging in the numbers physically. On the flip side, a couple of staff were super helpful and friendly, and the location is good!

No air conditioning in the room. The front desk person promised to fix the A/C or move us to another room, then nothing. We were able to get 2 fans to try and mitigate the heat. If not for security concerns I would have left the door open as the rest of the hotel was nice and cool. Open almost $1K for 2 nights for this!! Do yourself favor and stay elsewhere in GVA.

The hotel was great... Comfortable beds, nice decorations, quiet room, great breakfast, friendly staff and close to old town and transportation... The only thing was that the shower did not have a big enough curtain or door so it was difficult to take a shower without splashing water everywhere, but besides that I loved the hotel and highly recommended!!!

We enjoyed the room, it was clean and we appreciated that the queen bed was ACTUALLY a queen bed and not two put together. What we did not appreciate is that they advertised that they have AC, and it is barely that. It never got cold in our room. I asked for a fan on the first day, out of 3 days, and they acted line they didn’t know what a fan was. I asked again on the day before we left and they sweet front desk girl said, yes, and brought it strait to my room. That would’ve been so helpful since the first day. It was hot and very uncomfortable. The mini bar is also not something you can keep anything cold in. I had medicine that needed to be refrigerated, and the “fridge” is not cold. These are two things I always look for when booking. However, I would recommend this hotel, if you don’t need AC. They were very nice and the location was walkable to everything including the train station.

Everything was great! The young woman at the desk in the late afternoon early evening was so helpful and nice. Sorry forgot her name. My only slight gripe would be the rooms where very hot and the A/C didnt seem to do the trick in mine or my family's rooms. Made it hard to sleep. So if you like it cool when youre sleeping something to consider.

Quick overnight before a flight back to the US. We came after check in but our room wasn’t ready which was frustrating. Came back after dinner and got in. The bathroom knobs on the shower were backwards and a little tough to shower without getting water on the floor. Otherwise comfortable beds - they made up a bed for my son and we slept well. Nice fan with cold steam. Breakfast was pretty good and did the job. Available at 7 am for our early departure. Fast walk to the train.
